I'd rather have a decent quality bootleg video of the show over audio only. If I want audio, I'll just listen to the studio CD which is hard to top..
Yea I definitely would want video over audio only. A ytse jam audio of the TA show is something I'd buy but not something that would really interest me. I want to see the visuals again and watch the band play those songs. The audio will end up so similar to the album that it wouldn't be that interesting besides the couple extras Ben_Jamin pointed out.
I dont mind an audio because its live. Live always sounds different than the studio. Unless they did studio tricks. Which Ytsejams' shows dont do, ita raw from the recording.
You are right, but the whole album was played to a click so besides some mistakes, I'm not sure there's a lot of variance. I would buy it and listen to it for the reasons you say, but I would like the visuals more so because that was cool and added something to the music.
I'm with you on that too. What they should've done was have an option to include the visuals with the song. But I think since the turnout wasn't as anticipated, that put a damper on the chance to do those things for a possible DVD.
Which I am now glad I went to 2 shows because 1 was the only chance to see The Astonishing in full. The other was abriviated with encores. So in reality, those that went to the first leg, saw something we might never witness again.
That brings me to the no recordings restriction. I didnt mind that at all, it made me focus more on the show itself. Which seems to be the point of the restriction.
Now, since their are no videos, those that chose not to go are now bummed, mainly the ones that said "I'll just watch it on youtube or the DVD."
